In the book, Kilham offers suggestions on how to apply these methods in a strategic, combined approach. The book includes a review of major creative thinkers including da Vinci, Edison, Einstein, and Jobs and then moves on to the latest in computer-aided thinking.
"We are entering an era where the lone genius may no longer be equal to solving the problems such as climate change and pharmacology," said Kilham. "Even today as Congress debates patent reform legislation on the heels of the recently-passed America Invents Act, everyone realizes that we need extraordinary efforts on societal challenges to getting the kids off their smartphones and learning to imagine and create," according to Kilham.
Examples of these "MegaMinds" at work are drawn from a wide variety of applications ranging from inventing bird feeders to complex jumbo aircraft design. Kilham combines historical research, current cognitive science, and his own experience as an inventor with several successful patents in complex technical areas. He offers pointers along the way for everyone from emerging inventors and technical problem solvers to research teams seeking to utilize the best in cognitive science and computer technology.
